[HD2 General] Overlord Yuri:
Indeed, but I want to avoid replacing it myself, just not at any price.
[HD2 General] ephestione:
quick consideration: I bought my hd2, second hand, for 440€ in february. Up to a 200€ expense for repairs (lower than which I think it would be really hard to find anything) I would seriously consider buying ANOTHER hd2 which now, being almost august, maybe can be found for less than 350€. I am not following the market.

At thjat point you could sell yours as defective for 200€ and still have paied 150€, lower than repairs :p
[HD2 General] Overlord Yuri:
Thanks for the tip, that's not a bad idea at all..

However these guys says they'll fix it for 150£, so I think I'll just take a vacation in London and pay them a visit while I'm at it. :P

[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Even with 2.1 its pretty amazing phone, I cant even image when all the accessories along with 2.2 arrive......

Here is my quick review:

1. Will scratch easy if it falls. Needs a case.

2. VERY slippery and needs rubberized backing....this is a must

3. Screen is obviously amazing

4. Camera is also amazing. It has more features then my pocket camera ! Panoramic Mode is VERY cool and easy to use

5. TouchWiz or whatever is cool too, I like it. Dialer is better then Nexus. Camera is excellent. All Samsung Widgets SUCK big time. (I miss stock Android news widget)

6. Rooted super easy and uninstalled all JUNK.

7. It includes extra back cover.....dont know why because its the crappiest material they could have picked

8. Headset is 100 times better then the one came with Nexus.

9. Music player is simply THE BEST Android had to date. (5.1 surround setting, equalizers)

10. Speakerphone is excellent.

11. No noise cancellation. Although, I dont know if its needed. I saw a vid on iPhone 4 and it didnt look like noise cancellation was working.....

12. No LED notifications, but devs are working to get softkeys backlight to act like one

13. Even though the camera is good and low light performance is also good, its still missing the Flash which is a pretty big deal I think.

14. The backing is SO cheap that maybe it makes the whole phone look cheap.....need to replace it ASAP and then talk about its quality.....

15. Like i said before, Sammy widgets are pure junk !

Cant comment on battery. Power button on the side doesnt bother me. Size-wise its very nice, just a bit bigger then Nexus (not even close to HUGE Evo etc....). So far no problems and everything works like a charm.....I am aware of GPS issue but there is a fix already, so no worries here.....Oh and the signal bar seems to be VERY inaccurate, bars go left and right, looks like software problem, not like iPhone....

here is a stress test:

[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
How are you switching? (Cost-wise speaking.) Are you just buying the phone outright?
[Nexus One General] stuff:
I'm not going to touch another phone for a while. I'm mostly interested in Motorola's 2ghz smartphone in the end of 2010.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
1. No LED flash

2. No LED notifications

3. No Froyo

4. No Vanilla android

No Samsung Moment for me...

The Nexus One makes it quite easy to wait for the perfect phone ;)
[Nexus One General] xxmonsterx:
this^^....
[Nexus One General] inneyeseakay:

[Nexus One General] Orangeandblue302:
^im with those guys
[Nexus One General] Bjd223:
The vibrant is nice. The battery life is good especially for a 4" screen. You are corrext touchwiz is okay at best.

The gpu on this phone is amazing. I was just playing the racing game ripped from the droid x and it was smooth as silk.

Just get a good task killer. So much ram you can open like 50-75 apps before it starts auto killing them.

The camera is meh. But normal for a phone. The 720p video recording is pretty nice.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Bought Nexus for full price, bought this on 2 year contract for $200 bucks...

Froyo is coming in Korea as soon as August and to all other countries soon after that. The phone is few days old in USA, soon there will be stock Android OS for it. This is pretty much the first phone thats available in Asia, Europe, and on all 4 carries in USA so I hope this equals good dev support.

Other things to note: 16GB internal storage, 720p very good quality recording, camera setting have a bug and some settings dont get saved, custom fonts for full OS, custom vibration sensation (very nice feature IMO)

I remember back in the days when Nexus got released........So many people were upset about 3g issue, touch screen, camera...etc.......this is including me....well I am not that upset now as I was with Nexus. But i have to agree, external materials used in Nexus are on TOP
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
oh yeah about 2ghz phones......I read that those will be battery hungry compared to 1ghz. and therefore will be for those who need "2nd laptop". I need my battery to last at least 1 day, and Hummingbird is overkill for me already
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
2 year contract?! Ugh...

Glad you agree though with the Nexus One being on top ;)
[Nexus One General] mcp2009:
I was thinking about dumping my nexus for the vibrant but mainly because the 16gbs internal because I have 32gbs right now and its full. But I like HTC and would always pick it over Samsung and the vibrant looked too cheap for me and the no flash. I'm good with my nexus for now. Hopefully T-Mobile gets a new HTC android with keyboard with equal or better specs then the nexus or maybe Motorola but seeing wat they did to the droid x bootloader Idk.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
You guys should get the Epic 4G, if you are on Sprint or would change. It's the best of the Galaxy S line (Galaxy S Pro).
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
2 year contract at minimum $80/mo? Pass...
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
Yeah, I love my Tmobile no contract plan, actually will save money buying the N1 unsubsidized due to cheaper plan over the two years.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Me too! :)

Your a wise man irishrally.

Saving $720 over a 2 yr period with my N1 over a Epic = some serious cheese ;)
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Well for me its all the same, with contract or without....i am staying with tmo anyway and for $80 I have everything unlimited
[Nexus One General] mkrmec:
Bad signal

Bad wifi

Bad buggy software

Laggy because of software

No flash

No latest android

Doubt that it will officialy get android 3.0

Touchwiz... it makes me barf

In my country galaxy s will go for 15 euro/2 years

Noise cancelation on Nexus rules... it just works

5.1 surround? Why the hell u need that? Mono speaker..

....
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Signal same as on nexus maybe better

Wifi also the same

Mine is not laggy, but if laggs, switch to anyther launcher

2.2 os is coming soon

Touchwiz can be replaced
[Nexus One General] BiGMERF:
2.2 coming soon? So is gingerbread for the nexus. Lol
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
Was wondering how the 5.1 surround sound works. Is it only for HDTV?
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Most likely. Cant enable it if using seaker, but can if using headphones which makes them sound better.

I dont really like to talk about Gingerbread because there are still no word on when and what is coming. And with such a huge market, who knows where Galaxy is headed.......maybe nowhere just like all Sammy phones.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Seems like there are a lot of cons on that list. Can't see why you'd bother switching. Better phones are coming.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Better phones are always coming......

I have listed my personal observations, I havent listed oubvious pros

If you compare against Nexus, all hardware will be pros, camera, touch screen sensetivity, 4'' Samoled, brightness sensor finaly works, gpu, speaketphone, headphone.....and many cons listed hopefully will br fixed soon
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
By the time the Galaxy S gets Froyo from Samsung Nexus One owners will already have Gingerbread... nuff said ;)
[Nexus One General] Bjd223:
almost all of this list is fud. The wifi and wireless radio work just as good as any phone I have had.

The gps caused some issues but I had no issues with it. Easy fix either way.

The only problem I have with this phone is 2.1. Which may not even be a problem yet.

Idk I like it a lot. Just ditch touchwiz.
[Nexus One General] androidlicious:
The plastics of the phone in photos look so cheesy and cheap!
[Nexus One General] TFJ4:
Doubt that, they'll most likely get better battery than the hummingbird and snapdragon (first gen). Reason being that one of the cores will go idle when its not in use and likely use 45 nm technology versus the 65 nm in the Nexus One (QSD8250).
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
The nexus one is 7 months old already, the sgs just came out. With how fast the technology world is moving, I wouldn't be surprised to see something better than the sgs in a few months.
[Nexus One General] temperbad:
your right. There sure will be.. Will I upgrade to it? Maybe.. The only thing really that made me leave the n1 was the fake MT... I need true multitouch. I play games and with these new phones theres gonna be a lot soon.. Like for example Toon Warz and Heavy gunner.. Toon warz has the controls on the same axis causing it to shoot with the move button and move with the shoot button sometimes.. Just not cool..

Heavy gunner also has its controls on the same axis so when you move one gun the other moves too. Just not right.. If the N1 had a Clearpad 3000 I probably wouldnt have giving it up... Well maybe but not as easy..
[Nexus One General] vinnyjr:
Te Nexus One is still the best phone made today. Build quality is great, looks are killer, will get all updates first and the 3.7 IMO is the best size screen for a phone. Anything bigger makes carrying a phone stupid, might as well carry a TV. Nexus One is my phone till the Nexus two is made.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I agree with your points, except that the Nexus One is "the best" in some categories, but not in all, and it's arguable that it's the best phone on the market. It's certainly one of the best. As for screensize... I think YOUR argument is stupid. 0.3" is not that much bigger. Heck, I'd even rock a 4.3" like the Evo or Droid X if they were GSM and not skinned. Carry a TV? It's called convergence man... it's coming whether you like it or not.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogchris81:
i have had a rooted G1 for about a year and a half. i just recieved my Evo this morning.

the issue is I open sync on my pc, connect the phone and select htc sync from drop down. htc sync on the phone says that my vista pc does not have sync.

i have tried installing sync from the stock sd card and downloaded from htc.com

nothing seems to work. i saw similar questions asked several times but not clearly answered. if anyone can offer some suggestions i would be grateful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joackie27:
Try uninstalling HTC Sync from your PC. And then reinstall the one from the website (it's the latest version compared to the one in the SD card). After installation run HTC Sync and connect the USB cable to your PC (don't connect the other end of the USB cable to the Evo yet). Then connect your Evo to the USB cable. If it doesn't work, try restarting your PC and then connecting it again. If it still doesn't work, try a different USB cable. I don't know if it will work but those are the procedures I'll be doing if I'm in your shoes. Sometimes USB cables and it's accompanying software are not that Plug N Play as we want them to be.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogchris81:
Attempting that now. thank you.

I did as you suggested, even used my wife's data cable for her pre. and still nothing.

just to clarify...all i (should) have to do is open sync on the computer and then choose sync from the notification dropdown after connecting to usb, right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogchris81:
maybe someone else has had and fixed this problem? i am unable to root without htc sync working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyfunk:
2) Make sure your phone is set to USB debugging

3) Add the downloaded Vista drivers folder to the aforementioned location.

4) Go into the Device Manager (Start > Control Panel > Device Manager) and look for 'ADB Interface' or similar and expand that.

5) Right-click on the item under that and go to properties.

6) Click Update Driver and then "Browse my computer for driver software".

7) IMPORTANT STEP: Click the link, "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

8) Click "Have Disk" and Browse to the location where you put the HTC Driver folder and open the Vista 64x folder.

9) There are two INF files in there. Choose 'htcrndis.inf' and click Open.

10) Click Okay and the device shown will be "My HTC". Select that and click Next to install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogchris81:
sorry to be annoying. it is killing me to not root this device. any help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogchris81:
is this folder in the sdk? where do i download from?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stogchris81:
ok. so i go into device manager and and the "my htc" device has a triangle with a ! in it. under properties it says windows cant initialize the device driver. i go to driver properties and find "C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\ANDROIDUSB.sys and CWindows\system32\WdfCoInstaller01007.dll". i go to the appropriate folders and delete them and then install C:\Programfiles\HTC\HTCDriver\DriverFiles\Vista_x86\htcrmdis.inf i do this based on someones advice. i then reboot the computer, go to device manager, plug in phone, and the drivers are right back to "C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\ANDROIDUSB.sys and CWindows\system32\WdfCoInstaller01007.dll"

which driver in the htc drivers file should i be using?
[HD2 General] engelsione:
How can I "unlock" my HD2? I plan to switch from Tmobile to Verizon.

And I love my Hd2, with the custom roms and the shell 3.5.5 my phone kicksass and I have no interest in the MotorolaX.

any help???

Pm me or email

engelsione@gmail.com
[HD2 General] lrdiaz:
HD2 (GSM) will not work on Verizon (CDMA).

Search on GSM unlock and you will find lots of web sites to unlock your device for a fee.

I have always used GSMPHONESOURCE
[HD2 General] aznwannabe358:
It is possible to do but complicated. First of all you need to get Verizon service on a BB8830, 9630, 9650. All of which are world edition phones which have gsm and cdma. You will then need to call Verizon and enable international roaming on your plan. Turn the blackberry to gsm mode only. Pull the battery out remove sim, then insert sim into HD2. Your phone will be working on the verizon network but roaming on the att and tmobile towers.

This method worked a year ago haven't tried since, but my friend is in advanced tech at verizon said it still works.
[HD2 General] ajitlimaye:
Got mine unlocked, but it's expensive

I had checked on e-bay for "HD2 unlock". A bunch of them offer to do this for around 10 to 11 $. Paid one of them and sent him the IMEI, but he could not find the unlock code in his database. He then refunded the money and recommended another seller (I think it was swiftunlock or similar). This guy charged about 24 $, but his unlock code worked, so now the phone can take and work with any sim.
[Streak 5 General] talboy:
Hi guys just a bit of advice needed...

I have a o2 streak, but i want to use it on my other networks, should i wait a while for an unlock solution cos apparently the rebel sim doesnt work??

I just want to check if anyone even knows if unlocking the device is even possible? will we ever have it unlocked? And more to the point is anyone even trying to unlock it?
[Streak 5 General] ComfySofa:
well, straight from the horses mouth...ie o2 is that they wont unlock a contracted phone for a 12month stint and a bought outright one (3 months) - ive just got mine from a guy that bought his outright (start of june) and got told he cant have a code til the start of sept - im currently going down another route to get the code from "a bloke i know..."

So it really depends on how you bought yours....
[Streak 5 General] joe2811:
I bought a dell streak on ebay, And i am using an o2 payg sim in it, that i have had since dec 2009,i have applied for an unlock code from o2 by filling in there online form,as i have purchased the streak outright ,will i get it unlocked as stated in above thread,thanks.
[Streak 5 General] ComfySofa:
Pretty slim my friend. If its a contract one youve got no chance - they wont unlock it for a year (i think thats already been said). Ive got a few irons in the fire at the moment, ill let you know what happens with mine once ive got my code (hopefully)
[Streak 5 General] joe2811:
I got my dell streak from ebay:o,and use an o2 payg sim in it that i have used in an iphone since Dec 2009,will o2 know when i filled in online unlocking form and gave IMEI number what phone should be on,for instance PAYG,or contract,i am a bit confused:confused: by this,can anyone clarify for me,as i dont know if person on ebay i bought it from got it as an upgrade or not:confused:
[Streak 5 General] joe2811:
O2 request to unlock dell streak on PAYG

Thanks,but i am not on a contract,i bought it from ebay,and i am using an O2 PAYG simcard in the streak, which i have been using since 2009,i filled in the unlocking form on O2 web site,about a 4 days ago,but have not heard anything back yet,as i am using it as a PAYG phone,do i have a chance of getting it unlocked:confused: anyone else on here had a PAYG dell streak unlocked from O2 with success:)
[Streak 5 General] gadjet:
Sim free??

Hi everyone.

Just got my streak from O2, with a text and web payg sim, and the packslip in the box says DELL STREAK 16GB (FP) SIMFREE? but when i tried an orange sim card it said i needed an unlock code?!ked!

I thought simfree free meant unloc
[Streak 5 General] rodjordan:
It actually means either

1. get a pay as you go o2 SIM

2. get an o2 compatible SIM

3. Get a rebel SIM

4. Pray for an unlock code

I did 3 and am currently doing a lot of 4 ;-)
[Streak 5 General] alfri:
we have a chance to come out code?
[Streak 5 General] elbowz:
I believe that O2's position with the unlocking of SIM-free and pre-pay Streaks isn't actually legit.

Ofcom's guidelines are that O2 can only refuse to unlock the phone until they've recovered any subsidy offered on the phone - in the case of the SIM-free and and pre-pay versions that amounts to £0 and £30 respectively against the cost direct from Dell.

I would call O2 customer service and ask for the unlock code (they can ask for a reasonable fee for this). If they refuse tell them that you'll be reporting them to Ofcom and open a complaint with Ofcom (http://www.ofcom.org.uk/) if enough people do it I suspect they'll relent and do what they're legally obliged to do.

As far as the contract Streaks are concerned, they are within their rights to refuse to unlock for 12 months, but as they're getting their pound of flesh through contract payments whatever happens to the phone I can't see their justifcation for refusing...

Hope this helps...
[Streak 5 General] joe2811:
Has anyone on here had there dell streak unlocked by O2;) i purchased one outright for PAYG i have filled in the unlocking form on O2 web site but have not heard back from them yet,i was thinking of getting the rebel sim to unlock,but i am hoping O2 will unlock it as i am PAYG,i dont mind paying a fee:mad: if dell are selling it unlocked on there web site ,why are O2 refusing to unlock for PAYG O2 customers then:confused:
[Streak 5 General] vinokirk:
O2 will not be unlocking Streaks for the forseeable future, that is fact :( whether you have filled in a form or spoke to a CSA who says thet they can do it....it will not happen
[Streak 5 General] dangerous_brain:
OK tell me more about the rebel sim as I am on vodafone and don't want to move to to O2
[Streak 5 General] joe2811:
Hi:)

I have the dell streak,and am on vodafone UK ,i just received the rebelsim card 2 yesterday and put it in my streak,seems to be working fine with my vodafone sim,i am on a vodafone contract,all i did was put my vodafone sim card in an old nokia ,that does not have 3g,to get signal,and then put it in my streak with rebel sim and vodafone sim card ,seems to be working great,:) if you buy the rebel sim for the dell streak just now,they are giving you a free case for it,and a free screen protector, and if you enter the code "Rebel" during checkout you get an extra 5 percent off the total price,i paid £14.50 including postage in the uk:) the free case is quite cheap made,but for free,it will do until i find a better one:) i was a bit wary about getting the rebel sim at first,but now i am using it with vodafone uk and it works fine,so go for it:)
[Streak 5 General] Megacamz:
This seems all good but do you get 3G using the rebel sim? because if not then it seems utterly pointless to me.
[Streak 5 General] joe2811:
HI :)

Yes you get 3g but sometimes you can lose signal/service/just put it back to 2g in the streak,and it comes back no problem,i can receive texts and calls no problem:) give it a try, you have to keep data roaming on as well to get the 3g i think,something to do with the way the rebel sim unlocks the streak:)
[Streak 5 General] mardibloke:
Do you have to put the sim back into a 2G phone and then back in the streak. Or can you just set the Streak to 2G and then back to 3G?
[Streak 5 General] fantasytozi:
Somehow vodafone 3g can work on Dell Streak with rebel sim. Im on 3 and no 3g with rebel sim. I dont want to stay with O2 so hence the sale of my Dell Streak, waiting for the unlocked one price go lower so I can afford one :)
[Streak 5 General] joe2811:
Just put the dell in to 2g mode,then after a few minutes switch streak back to 3g:)

[Streak 5 General] sturmavik:
RebelSIM working perfectly - three weeks with not one dropout - I hated it at first because I didn't RTFM.
[Streak 5 General] bigsro:
The rebel sim 2 I used on my Dell Streak - killed my Vodafone SIM card...headshot...man down!

Have had to get a replacement from Vodafone. It worked for about 15 mins then just died!

Brilliant.

Why cant O2 just release the bloody network unlock codes the muppets...
[Streak 5 General] Dude1966:
Just besides the known Rebelsim issues (can't receive calls / text messages unless webbrowser in use) I also have thd following problem... Traveling from the Netherlands to the UK, I can't re-connect to the UK network. The known routine, placing the sim in another phone, then placing it back in the streak works. But hey, doing this often damages the paperthin rebelsim fiddling it back and fort.

Still waiting for an proper unlock methode.
[Streak 5 General] bigsro:
I might just have to bite the bloody bullet and switch over to O2 - My Vodafone contract is up soon and I always swap around anyway.

My HD2 was supplied by Vodafone unlocked - why are O2 such buttheads about this...

The RebelSim is a good idea but it does not work perfectly for the Streak at all...
[Streak 5 General] tina333:
have you tried???

i read on the rebelsim FAQ instructions that in order to use full data functionality you need to tick data roaming to trick the sim.
